A container ( 10, 64) for food and non-food products, the container including a circumferential flange (12, 22, 32, 40, 66) extending around the container, the flange including a plurality of angled surfaces ( 14, 16, 18; 24, 26 28, 30; 34, 36, 38, 42, 44, 46; 68. 70, 72: 76, 77. 78) formed in the flange, and a closure member adhered to the plurality of angled surfaces for hermetically sealing said container. Also, a method for sealing containers tor food and non-food products, wherein the method includes the steps of: a.) providing a container ( 10. 64 ) having a circumferential flange (42, 22,....). b.) forming a plurality of angled surfaces (1.4, 16, 18;....) in the circumferential flange extending about the circumference of the container, c.) placing a closure member (20, 74) over the circumferential flange, d.) supporting the flange and the closure member in a nest (52, 56): e.) and applying at least one heated anvil to the closure member for causing the closure member to conform to and adhere to the plurality of angled surfaces in the circumferential flange. |
